I'm not going to disagree, Len. Eventually, the hill is so steep over such a long period of time, and the Forces of Evil so effective at their anarchistic agenda, that public servants give up.

Rearden, it's not that gubmit workers cannot get a job elsewhere. It's that nobody in the private sector wants to take on that kind of frustration for that kind of pay. If you're a gubmit worker and someone asks you what you do.......you should consider lying. We think of gubmit workers as scum. Low paid scum. When in fact, these managers have such a powerful effect on peoples' lives and business' freedoms that it would make way more sense to pay them MORE than the private sector rather than less, and to respect them for their work and be grateful. Public servants should be MORE respected than private sector folks, not less. There is no better place to apply the talents of a gifted manager than in public service. We NEED.....DESPERATELY......good managerial talent there. Do we get it? Nope. Guess why.
